About the Project

Lehramt International: Reflecting Diversity and Inclusion

Since 2019, the Lehramt International project has been working on the internationalization of teacher training at the University of Bremen. With funding secured from the DAAD, the third four-year project phase will begin in 2025 focussing on reflecting diversity and inclusion.

The sustainable internationalization of teacher training programs is being achieved through various planned measures, which are organized into five central clusters. By creating new opportunities for study abroad, incorporating international perspectives into local teaching, and organizing networking opportunities for teachers, a framework for diversity- and inclusion-sensitive teaching is being established that aims to meet the demands of teacher training in a migration society.
